Shocking UP-FRONT FEE Results!
75% Get No Work - The Stage…
On 27th April 2006, ‘The Stage’ newspaper reported their results, of their damning survey report, which stated: “Three-quarters of people paying up-front fees to agents in the entertainment industry receive no work from them in the following 12 months and in more than 90% of cases find that they fail to live up to expectations, according to The Stage’s nationwide survey, completed this week. Our survey, which was completed by more than 700 Stage readers, reveals almost half are still being charged a fee when they join an agency and that 63% of those are told this is purely for registration purposes - a clear breach of the law. Where a charge has been made for inclusion in a directory, the vast majority of people have also been told that this charge is compulsory, which goes against industry codes of practice. Some 36% of people were also asked to pay even more money for photographic services provided by the agency, with the majority - 64% - saying they were illegally told that they must use such services in order to join up.” There has never been a prosecution against agencies; that have taken up-front fees under false pretences; that have offered little work-seeking services. Shame!
